Curretly, the memory region of backed memory is directly mapped to

This patch let dimm device realize this fact and use
DIMMDeviceClass->get_memory_region method to get the mapped memory
region

Current code did not check the return value of get_memory_region as it
assumed the backend memory of pc-dimm is always properly initialized,
we make get_memory_region internally catch the case if something is
wrong

but here you call not pc-dimm's get_memory_region, but common ddc->get_memory_region, which may be nvdimm or possibly other future dimm, so, why not check it here? And than pc_dimm_get_memory_region may be left untouched (error_abort is ok, because errp is unused).

this should squashed into previous patch, I think

You mean merger this patch with 19/35 (dimm: abstract dimm device from pc-dimm)? The 19/35 mostly ‘moves’ the things, this one changes the core logic, it is not
a big deal. :D

stupid me, you are right)



  static void pc_dimm_class_init(ObjectClass *oc, void *data)

I've discovered suddenly, that

MemoryRegion *
host_memory_backend_get_memory(HostMemoryBackend *backend, Error **errp)
{
     return memory_region_size(&backend->mr) ? &backend->mr : NULL;
}

- it doesn't use errp at all. In my opinion, this should be fixed globally, by deleting useless parameter in separate patch. Or just squash your function into previous patch.


Yup, this is a globally interface so i prefer to make a separate patch to do the
cleanup after this patchset.
